ABOUT ME

I've been living in North London for nearly two years with my husband, 4 wonderful flatmates, and 2 cats. I'm finishing up my MPA degree at LSE and sadly leaving London to move to Boston in July. I have a soft spot for ice cream sundaes, bookstores, and certain cats. When I'm indoors, I like to cook (lots!), read, drink coffee and wine. Outdoors, I like to go on city walks - exploring new neighborhoods and outdoor markets - as well as country walks when I get a chance.

PHILOSOPHY

do what you can to make just one thing somewhere better, one step at a time. it all adds up eventually.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We host semi-regularly in our house, and occasionally surf when I can plan far enough in advance.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We host CSers on a pretty regular basis in our house in London. I also participated in lots of activities and met some great friends through the CS Manila group when I lived there. I've only couch surfed a few times, in South Korea and in London.
